HOME CALLS.

When the work-day hours are closing
And the evening twilight falls,
How the homes throughout the city
Send forth their loving calls!
Calls so low, you may not hear them;
But how many hear and smile!
And tired hand and heads so weary
Are forgotten for the while.
The dear home sounds ring sweetly
In the ears of toiling men,
And, for love of wife and children,
They seek their homes again.
So I sit in the brooding twilight,
And watch as they homeward go,
With glad steps hurrying onward
To the hearths that love them SO.
And long to cry out to them:
70, guard the home love well;
Be tender and true to your dear ones IT
How long yours, none can tell"
For know there is one among them
Whose heart in sadness roams,
Who hears no call in the twilight,
Save the call to the Home of homes.
Good Housekeeping.

A Slight misunderstanding.

The Importance Of distinct enuncia-
lion in singing was well illustrated in
Sunday-school recently. The schol-
ars frequently sing:
Pass along the watchword, shout it as you 20,
Victory victory, over every foe"
A little girl III five years, coming for
the first time to Sunday-school, was
greatly pleased with the singing of this
hymn. When she reached home, she
said:
Mamma, they sang such funny
song at Sundav-school to-dayr'
"What was it?" lsked her mother.
30, they sang, Pass along the wash
rag and they kept saying it over and
over. YOUTHS Companion

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
A Very Rapid Increase Under Decreas-
 ing Circum stances.

HE CIfc0nlStanccS.
 The assumed rapid decrease or Ins ,,aioIic debt of the United States, as sstt4Jwn in the statements published, has seemed very mar. yelous to foreigners. The. experience oi other nations with their public debts leads them tc doubt the statements of this country Most Of them have continually increasing in stead of decreasing national debts.
 How then, they ask, can the United States diminish it's debt so rapidlyl The prosperity of the people during all these years has been unabated. In fact the country has never seen such an era of gen. sral prosperity. The two conditions appear 10 be contradictory.
 Are the statements trues
 In one sense they are undoubtedly cor rect, but the public debt has largely in creased since the war. It has accumulated to the great inventors and discovcrers whose successful efforts have eased tho burdens of labor and made pleasant the pathways of toil
 A grateful public should also aclxnowl. edge it's indebtedness to those who have promoted health and happiness. The pro prietors of Warmers safe cure have given Eo the public a specific for all kidney dis orders, and tho innumerable train of fright ful diseases that arc caused by them. The late public teacher, Dr. Dlo Lewis, who sel- dom prescribed medicines of any sort, gave to this renowned specific his warm com mendation, and said if he found himself sui fering from any kidney disorder he should use it. Kidney disorders are the cause of 93 per cent, say the proprietors of that remedy, of all diseases. If you keep the kidneys in health, you have the greatest as surance of freedom from all disease.
 Before the discovery of this remedy, bright,s disease was deemed incurable. Now the number of victims of the dread kidney diseases, and all others caused by such diseases, who are by it snatched from death constantly increases, and as the efficacy of the remedy becomes more widely known those who have reason to be devoutly thankful that this wonderful specific has been made known to the world, multiply with rapidly increasing ratio.

A Class of "Laborersv Who Have Never
 Been Known to Work.
 Rise early and watch the crowd at the St. Katherine or the West and East India gates. The bell rings, the gate opens, and the struggling mass surge into the docks. The foremen and contractors stand behind tho chain or in the wooden boxes. The "ticket men" pass through, and those con- stantly preferred are taken on without dispute. Then the struggle for the last tickets. To watch it one would think it was life and death 10 those concerned But Jack. having secured ticket by savage fight sells it to needier Tom for twopence, and goes off with the coppers to drink or to gamble. Or, if the flush of business forces the employers to "clear the gates, many of those who on a slack morning would be most desperate in their demand for work will ''book off after they have earned suf- ticient for pint of beer and pipe of tobacco and nights lodging. Or take day which offers no employ ment--watch the crowd as it disperses. The honest worker. not as yet attracted by the Vaccinations of East End social life, will return 10 his home with heavy heart. There he will mind the baby, while his wife seeks work; or. if not entirely hopeless, he trudges wearily along the streets searching in vain for permanent work. But the greater part of the crowd will lounge down the waterside and stand outside the wharf and dock gates As the day draws on, the more respectable ele- ment will disappear, while it's place will be taken by the professional '.cadger' and dock loungcr. A gen. tleman who has lived and worked in this district twenty-three years esti- mates the number at two thousand These men would work at no price. They gain their livelihood by petty theft, by cadging the earnings of their working friends, through gambling or drink, and by charitable assistance. From all ac- counts l very mucn Tear that these are the recipients of the free break lasts with which the well-to-do West End in times of social panic soothes it's own conscience and calms its own fears. But apart from this semi criminal class, the staple of the dock and waterside popul ation subsisting by means of the extreme fluetuation and irregularity of employment is made up of those who are either men, tally or physically unfit for worthful and persistent work. These men hang about for the todd hourp or work one day in the seven. They live on stimulants and tobacco, varied with bread and tea and salt fish. Their passion is gambling. Sections of them are hereditary casuals; a larger portion drift from the country. They have a constitutional hatre to regularity and forethought and need for paltry excitement. They are late riscrs, sharp-witted takers. and. above all, they have that agreea- hle tolerance for their own and each others vices which seems characteris- ! tic cf pu rely leisure class, whether it lies Ut the top or the bottom of so- eieiy.

SHELTER FOR STOCK.
Directions for Building Cheap Structure
 of Prairie Sod.

of Prairie Sod.
 The value of wind breaks and shell ter sheds in all open situations is gen. erally acknowledged. Not all who are aware of the value of such shelter act fully up to their conviction. The 1 farmer is too apt to wait until sub stantial wooden or brick structure can be built. A practical man gives direc- 1 lions how to make a shelter of prairie sods. so far as the sides arc concerned. and also suggests the covering as be- ing adapted to the range. It is quite as well adapted to very many other localities, and is well worthy of study: Select slope to the south upon which to erect the corral; blow up your sod from ten to twelve inches wide and as long as will make it con- venient to handle--lay up sod wall from twenty-four inches in thickness to the height of six or seven feet for the north side of tho corral--length to suit the amount of stock to be shell tered--build up like wall both on the cast and west end of the main north wall, allowing the center to ex- tend two or three feet above the level of the back wall; erect center-poles eight feet apart, place good strong ridge-pole in the center, then put on two by four scantling for rafters four feet apart; across raftcrs stretch strong wire, about twelve inches apart, if you desire to cover with corn fodder or sorghum stalks. and six inches apart if covered with hay or other short grass so laid on as to shed rain; fastcn down with wire across the top to keep it from being blown of. To better protect the sod wall from being de- stroyed by cattle rubbing or horning against it light posts may be set in close to the sod wall on both sides of it, fastened together at the top with wire to make it more trm. To these posts, set about eight feet apart if three or more fence boards be nailed at suitable height the wallis thorough ly protected from cattle either rubbing or hooking it down. The stockyard ought to be on the north side of the stable or corral Openings ought to be placed in the north wall, for door or window or both, sufficiently large to admit hay or fodder. For sheep-corral the height of the structure can be consid- erably lowered. The feeding-racks or troughs can be arranged either along the sides and ends of the sod walls as well as through the center of the sheds If constructed in the center, numerous openings should be left for stock to pass from one side to the oth- CT so as to avoid crowding or being hemmed in by unruly stock. The req son given for stacking hay or fodder to the north side of such shed or cor ral is to prevent the snow drifting over and around the south side of the shed which is to be left open, or, at least, partly so.

4 Curious Ceremony.

The Menonnites, near Bowmansville. Lancaster, County, Pa, recently selected a minister to succeed the late Rev. Chris tim Stauffer. Nine members of the con gregation were chosen by ballot to enter the ministerial draft, and these occupied the front row of seats A commi ttee re- tired to class room with nine new hymn books Into one of these a slip bearing the words s.Who receives this shall be tho one to serve as minister" was placed. The books were then brought before the con greg and each of the nine men se- iected one of them. The books were opened by tho Bishop, and in the one chosen by Henry c. Good the bit of paper was found. He was hailed as the new minister, and his wife, sitting in her pew, burst into tears of joy. Mir. Good is a farmer forty-two years of age.
